As I said yesterday, from Windows POV, it's just another volume.  So
yes, a defragger (which will be using the Windows defrag API) should
defrag a TrueCrypt volume perfectly happily.

Actually, I've just gone and tried it (using a nice little defragger
called JkDefrag: http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/) and it seems to work
fine.

Its working well for me.  For speed reasons, I might tend to copy disk
intensive stuff out for working on.  My only concern is - does it get
fragmented ?  will normal disk defraggers work ?  I am  not game to try
them  :-)
